Prosecutors announced Friday they have opened a money laundering investigation against Peru's first lady Nadine Heredia.

Heredia, wife of President Ollanta Humala, is accused of having received thousands of dollars in unexplained income in her bank account several years ago -- at around the same time her husband allegedly received illicit funds from various Venezuelan companies.
